As more and more countries dump the US dollar for other national currencies, the dollar and the US are becoming increasingly isolated.

In order to avert a sudden dollar collapse, the US has taken robust measures in the past to avoid this, and went as far as militarily attacking countries that dumped the dollar.

Iran’s decision on April 18 to dump the dollar makes an American military onslaught on the country all the more likely if we look at recent history.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had announced that Iraq would no longer sell its oil in US dollars just prior to the US launching its regime change mission in 2003. The US had pushed for a no-fly zone over Iraq which was a tactical move that led to air superiority over Iraq, and the overthrow of the regime. The same tactic was used in Libya some years later.

In 2011, NATO militarily attacked Libya, enforcing a no-fly zone over the country, to thwart Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency in dinars. Gadaffi had an estimated 150 tons of gold, and had also pushed African and Middle Eastern governments to also dump the dollar.

In 2011, Editor of the Daily Bell Anthony Wile had written that the central banking Ponzi scheme requires an ever increasing base of demand and the immediate silencing of those who would threaten its existence. According to analysts at the time, if Libya and other nations were to dump the greenback, it had the potential of bringing down the dollar and even the world monetary system. This concern had led former French President Nicolas Sarkozy to call Libya a threat to the financial security of the world.

Gaddafi had almost as much silver reserves as he had gold, which meant his idea of creating an African currency posed a serious threat to the French franc (CFA), which was the main currency in West Africa. Even when former president of the Ivory Coast Laurent Gbagbo had planned to move away from the CFA and wanted to encourage other West African nations to do so, the hand of the French was evident in his removal from power. For years he was held by the International Criminal Court without charge.

There is no question that the West wanted both Iraq and Libya’s oil, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was the insistence on moving away from the US dollar.

Syria is yet another example of a country that in 2006 had switched the primary hard currency it used for foreign goods and services from the dollar to the euro, to make it less vulnerable to pressure from Washington. In US foreign policy circles, the fact that Syria had strong relations with Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, Iran, Russia and China was already problematic, but moving away from the dollar was intolerable.

As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton later admitted, the US poured arms and cash into the hands of Sunni rebels in a proxy war that continues today.

On April 16, Turkey decided to repatriate all the gold it had in the US in a move to dump the dollar. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that everyone should be trading in gold. This was a major blow to the US economy given that Turkey is the 11th largest gold holder with 591 tons of gold worth US$23 billion. The fear of the US is that this will lead to a domino effect that will not only affect US leadership in the global economy, but bring down the US economy itself.

Two days later on April 18, Iran decided to dump the dollar and use the euro. President Hassan Rouhani and his cabinet decided the euro will be used when giving the Rial’s exchange rate in all official statements and acts.

What was the reaction to that?

Exactly three weeks later President Donald Trump announced the US was pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. This was vociferously resisted by the Europeans who are refusing to be dictated to by US foreign policy whims. France has even said it will start offering euro denominated credits to buyers from Iran for goods made in France. It is all so hypocritical when one considers that Iran has consistently kept to its side of the nuclear deal according to the IAEA, and Iran has never invaded anyone in its history.

But the US has more than just Turkey and Iran’s recent announcements to worry about. Last year China rolled out a payment versus payment system for Russian ruble and Chinese yuan transactions. Earlier this year Pakistan announced that it is replacing the dollar with the yuan for trade with Beijing. If more countries follow suit what we may see is a US recession at best, and certain global economic turmoil.

SARS is the only legitimate criminal organisation in Nigeria that is allowed to commit murder, raid, kidnap, extort, maim, torture, sniff, smoke, take bribe and ransom and so on.....

What I'm just scared of is with the way they are not being checked by their corrupt Oga at the Top, they will surely one day offend a Shekau or a Bin Laden and the story will then change for the ........

History has it that the same Nigerian Police are the cause of Boko Haram when they murdered M Yusuf after the Military handed him over to them.

If they were to be the one in charge of El Zakzazy, I know they would have turned Shites to an organised militant group that would have been dealing with them.

They are not worth the uniform given to them.

If our unfortunate leaders read the comments on this thread, I'm sure they will have a rethink of planning well for our stupid citizens who are not worth helping.

A man said he planned for only 2 children so he can take GOOD care of them, the wife abandons family planning and starts getting pregnant uncontrollably. Who's fault?

I told my wife I wanted only 2 children and I thank God she understands why. Now, it's easy for me to plan and feed them well. Same with clothing.

I can change wardrobe for them with #20k with them feeling and looking nice with good feeding. Can #20k do for 6 children?

Africans, please, let's think smart. We don't need some white men to come and be lecturing us like school children.

With my 2 children, I can buy goodies of #200 for them and it will still be enough, same with bread and egg for them, indomie and egg, rice, spag, beans, biscuit and milk. Just name it.

Both of them come to me when I'm eating and I'm not under pressure to feed them one of my meat or chicken or turkey while eating. They are just two, not SIX.

I can also buy drugs for them, bicycle and there is no pressure on my room and parlour self contain.

All these because we planned for only 2 children. Let's leave God aside from this discussion first. Heaven help those who help themselves.

Please, let's plan well for ourselves, that's where our comfort lies.

My debt profile is low, if not non existent, all because I know my limit. My wife can fill up the kitchen and we know when to buy another. It's all about planning, I'm not under any pressure for money ritual because I know I have only two mouths to feed, yes, 2 mouths, my wife also work, so the pressure is less and she has time to take care of the two children without dying young, she is also not worn out from child birth wahala.

Though, there is no perfect marriage, we still need to eliminate the other unnecessary cause of conflicts.

Please, let us all plan well, more so, we are in a situation where the government doesn't give a damn about us.

Fayemi is extremely refined. Though I dislike APC.

I like those type of men at the helms of affairs. Just like Fashola, Peter Obi, Osinbajo, Donald Duke and Dankwanbo.

Those people are built for governance, not some dull headed shits like Fayose, Yahya Bello and Rochas Okorocha.

Just because Dangote said he needs a woman, you too is now coming out to say you need a man.

See eye service. Dangote doesn't want Slay Mama.

Most policemen are sick people.

Like sick upstairs. Anyone with counter proof should show up.

I'm just wondering why the Alaafin of Oyo is silent on this issue.

Can't Baba see that by this action of Ajimobi, all Obas thrones are being threatened.


Or, are they now seeing themselves as not useful and relevant anymore?

I know this madness from APC and PDP will certainly destroy these leaders or the abused democracy or even Nigeria itself.

The short term solution to making wrong choice in 2019 is for the enlightened YOU & ME to educate those ignorant people around us to vote for quality.

Let them understand that the more they show they are a greedy set of people to politicians by demanding money and favours from them during campaigns, the more these people gets annoyed and wicked towards them.

Collecting money and goodies to vote is more or less like taking a loan with unspecified interest on it.

It's about our vision, most of us are short sighted to know what to demand from politicians, its not about #500 to vote.

Collecting money to vote should be seem as 'Crime against the state, same for the giver also'

STOP JEOPARDISING OUR FUTURE BECAUSE OF QUICK GREED.

W

Fulani herdsmen killed people, take over farms and lands.

Can any other tribe do thus in Nigeria without Buhari showing his ingenuity in warfare?

All I know is Buhari and his brothers have an agenda to accomplish.

The reporter wrote the truth. He can't be that foolish to have published that kind of false information. This is physical, emotional and tribal genocide.

To the Federal govt.

If Nnamdi Kanu violated his bail condition, was invading his house the answer or was it the army that gave the bail conditions to him?

Buhari is just toying with our brain, that man has and can never change. He is sectarian and wickedly mischievous.

I still believe Nnamdi Kanu was abducted by the military. Buhari planned it.

I dislike that man with passion.

No sane living Nigerian trusts the Police Force, reason is they have been bastardized and condemned because they couldn't stand for the truth when it mattered most.

I pray the DSS doesn't drop to that level. Being partisan or playing politics or cowing opposition during election period doesn't make sense.

The DSS rating dropped abysmally under Jonathan and with Lawan Daura (a Buhari kinsman) at the helm of affairs, no matter what the DSS does now will be viewed as an attempt to help Buhari who has never been a nationalist.

In all, whatever the outcome is, Buhari has further reduced the rating of DSS by appointing Lawan Daura.

The worst set of people lead Nigeria while the best will always show this I DONT CARE ATTITUDE.

With the way these guys always fumble and jump about, I'd expected these dirty and corrupt squad to have been begging Buhari on their knees to let them invade Sambisa Forest and flush out Boko Haram.

But no, they are too scared to face real war situation. Useless and coward squad.


If God will disgrace them, they will one day offend a Shekau or Osama Bin Ladin out there. A very useless set of people.

With all the comments above, it has clearly shown SARS is no more wanted by the people.

SARS has become a disgrace to the Nigeria Police and the nation at large.

Personally too, I don't believe that shit of story from SARS or whatever they call them. They have caused 90% damage and 10% repair to the nation.

SARS disadvantage far outweighs their advantage.

This is called 'VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE'

As of today m, Nigeria is owing approximate #18tr.

Our population is 180million

This means each Nigerian is owing over #1million.

This means even a day old child that doesn't have access to good health care is also owing #1million.

You can't tell me that baby has been provided a service of #1million.

The government is raping us.

Sometimes when I get dressed up to got to work, I feel sad because I know there are some blood thirsty vampires (SARS) out there that hate well dressed guys.

I can bet you SARS knows armed robbers joints, even regular police do but because they themselves are armed robbers, they in turn raid the populace just to cover up that they are truly fighting crime.

This era is worst than the military era.

It's a blood thirsty era.

I still owe the believe SARS is a Lawful Criminal Organisation.

Dear Lord,

Please give our ladies Brian. Their dullness is legendary.

This is the type of brain the DSS and NIA should be after.

With this guy in their organisation, they are rest assured of making headway in intelligence gathering.

We don't neee those dull headed abokis who only believe in charms.

Most of the suspects that robbed Offa banks are either former Mopol or SARS guys.

Can someone relate the smartness to close the banks to the disappearance of the police men?

I dedicate this to the researchers and op.

No ooo, it was actually targeted at PDP.


This guys brain is at 7%. He needs a brain bank for boost.

All Israeli wars have always been supported by US. US gathered all the military formations of all Arab states to Israel hence the reason Israel attacked all those tanks, jets and barracks in the 6 day war before they all could mobilize. Turkey will destroy Israel in any confrontation.

Israel has never been attacked after their creation, US have always mobilise them into attacking first. Germany will wipe them out in 1 day.

Same with Iran. Iran will wipe out Israel without scratch.

Do you think US is attacking Iran for nothing? They are only trying to weaken them economically. Nothing more.

Till today, US still support Israel with $10 billion in military grant.

Remove US backing from Israel and you will see there is no God of Israel any where.

We now have a president whose actions are governed by emotions: envy, vanity, guilt, hatred and, chief among them, fear.

Donald Trump. (Alex Wong/Getty Images)
Donald Trump seems to have become shaken by fear that his base might abandon him because of his inability to deliver on his signature promises, like the construction of a border wall between this country and Mexico.
(Completely gone is the suggestion that Mexico would pay for this ridiculous boondoggle.)

So he has been on a tear, resurrecting the even more nationalist, isolationist Trump of the campaign.

He has pushed us to the teetering verge of a trade war, has suggested that we hasten withdrawal from Syria, has recommended that we send “the military” to the southern border and railed against caravans of brown people heading our way.

To a large degree, he appears to be making policy from the podium, responding to the propaganda organ Fox News and bouncing ideas off a small circle of loyalists. His Cabinet and the White House are left to respond to what Trump says on the fly and develop that into a quasi-coherent policy.

This is no way to run a country, unless your intention is to run it into the ground.

This is now the American quandary: The wheels of government are being forced to turn on the erratic whims of an egomaniac.

This is a man relying more on emotion than government intelligence or personal intelligence. Everything with Trump is about grit and gut, sensing the energy of the room, the crowd, the aching masses, and saying whatever he thinks will energize and animate them, anything that will cause them to suspend disbelief and vest faith in a sham.

Nothing need be true. Nothing need be effective policy. Nothing need be rooted in data. The only requirement is that he says whatever he says with conviction and that he commands unending fidelity from those who have already abandoned all principle to stand with him.

But a man with Trump’s gaping insecurity and consuming fear is not a person who can be a stable steward of the national trust and the national interest.

Trump is afraid of abandonment, so he tosses his base red meat.

Trump is afraid of the optics of a bad meeting, so he says whatever he believes the other attendees will find agreeable.

He is afraid of failure, so he touts everything as a victory, even if he has to lie.

He is afraid of not being adored, so he revs up his rallies.

He is afraid of diversity of thought — or complex thought, for that matter — so he churns through members of his administration.

He appears to be afraid of Russia and Vladimir Putin, so he hesitates to criticize and condemn that nation or the man.

He is afraid of the Robert Mueller investigation and what it may reveal about him, his family and his associates.

And he is probably afraid that the Democrats could gain control of the House, which would increase the possibility of impeachment proceedings should Mueller reveal something damning. At the very least, a Democratic House could begin its own investigations.

In every corner there is a shadow, and within every shadow there is a threat. The irony is that the threats are real and all of his own making. Trump isn’t smart, savvy or sophisticated enough to run this country.

He has a skill for demagogy and emotional manipulation, and he exercised that skill in its full power at precisely the right time to convince enough of America that he should be president.

But Trump has only one mode — inferno.

He starts fires, fans flames and also throws them.

At the risk of laboring the metaphor, burnout is inevitable.

Not even the most ardent Trumpsters can maintain their enthusiasm, even if they maintain their support. There is just too much chaos, too much noise, too much lying, too little coherence.

I have never thought I would be quoting the hideous Ann Coulter in agreement, but one thing she told my colleague Frank Bruni last week was correct: His former supporters, whom he has disappointed, will feel betrayed and vindictive.

The man who is consumed by fear is, alas, justified in that fear.

This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

A competent court declared the man to be released. The government flouted that order.

Same government is taking same ElZakzazy to the same court for another offence without first reproaching them for disobeying its orders. So, if it rules in favour of government, will the government also disobey that or quickly execute that order?

All arms of government (executive, judiciary and legislature) are all useless to themselves and the people.

Where is the court's dignity self? Do they have any left with same government?

The little I understand is these foreigners deal with our govt officials a lot and can tell you exactly how they behave.

When they say Nigeria is massively/fantastically corrupt, they are on point.
